2nd man held for trial in Philly crash that killed three
A judge has ordered a second man to stand trial in a triple-fatal crash that authorities said occurred as cars were drag racing in Northeast Philadelphia a year ago.
Twenty-year-old Ryan Farrell had a preliminary hearing last month with 20-year-old Christopher Bloomfield in the July 2015 crash that killed 17-year-old Sabrina Rhoads, 17-year-old Yvette Gonzalez and 20-year-old Felipe Hernandez.
Bloomfield was held for trial, but a decision on Farrell was delayed after his attorney argued that there was no precedent for charging a driver in a drag racing crash if the driver didn’t hit the other vehicle.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Farrell was held for trial Monday on vehicular homicide and involuntary manslaughter charges.
